A 19-year-old man was arrested on Monday on suspicion of involvement in at least seven cases of fraud against the elderly in Gothenburg since July. The elderly have been fooled to let one or more people who claimed to be the TV repairmen who would adjust the devices, writes Göteborgs-Posten.

At one point a 83-year-old woman of having 15,000 crowns when she handed over her debit card and code after the false television repairman said that his readers did not work.

19-year-old is already convicted for, among other things, attempted fraud. He has not admitted anything, but according to the prosecutor, there is evidence in the form of pictures and phone calls.
